South African Rand: Gains versus Dollar needs 16.12 break – Societe Generale
Societe Generale notes the USD/ZAR downtrend has paused after an interim low near 15.63 in January, with the pair struggling to reclaim its 200-day moving average. A recent pivot high around 16.80–16.92 forms key resistance, whose break would confirm a larger bounce. However, a drop below the April low at 16.12 would signal resumption of the broader downtrend.
Key resistance and support levels in focus
"USD/ZAR downtrend stalled after carving out an interim low near 15.63 in January."
